Fireworks Cookies

Happy Fourth of July!  Here are some Fireworks cookies I made:

I used the Mexican Hot-Chocolate Cookie recipe from Martha Stewart. I omitted the step where one rolls balls of dough in a mixture of sugar, cinnamon, and chili powder, and instead dipped (very sticky) blobs of dough in the star sprinkles.  I baked them ten minutes as per the recipe, and they came out perfect.

Mmm .... star sprinkles ...

We will be enjoying these while watching the fireworks on TV tonight.  Last year we got to see local fireworks from our back yard, but I don't think we'll be so lucky this year, given the clouds and rain. Enjoy the day!
